UConn will get only one shot against East Carolina and South Florida next season. The American Athletic Conference men's basketball pairings for 2015-16 were announced Wednesday, and with 11 teams in the league, and an 18-game conference schedule, each team plays eight opponents home and away, and two others once. East Carolina will come to Connecticut; the Huskies will be going to Tampa to play South Florida.

The dates and times of matchups will be announced later. UConn will play Southern Methodist, Houston, Tulsa, Memphis, Cincinnati, Central Florida, Tulane and Temple both home and away next season.

The Huskies, 10-8 in conference play last season, advanced to the AAC Tournament final, were 5-0 against South Florida, a former Big East rival, and East Carolina, including a first-round win over USF in the conference tournament in Hartford.
